v. when a friend, etc... uses a photo editing program to remove your image from a picture taken as to avoid you being shown in a less than favorable light.
In a sentence: "I'm so glad that my friend Michael courtesy cropped me out of that picture he took of all of us last week. If he would have posted the original to his Facebook, I would have been so embarrased by my facial expression!"
